Really interesting...Here in the UK, doctors and the parents of an 11-month old girl who has been in hospital since she was born, are in court to determine if the doctors are allowed not to resuscitate her next time she needs it (she is blind and deaf and is fed through a tube and has lots of major problems).
I know it's a complicated case, and sure I don't know all the facts, but surely if the parents want their child to be resuscitated the doctors, as part of the hippocratic oath, are obliged to?
The judge makes his decision on Thursday....
So sad,
